[Project No. 15229-000]
Alabama Power Company; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On July 27, 2021, Alabama Power Company filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act,
proposing to study the feasibility of the Chandler Mountain Pumped
Storage Project No. 15229-000 (Chandler Mountain Project, or project),
a closed-loop pumped storage project to be located in Etowah and St.
Clair Counties, Alabama. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities
or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the
owners' express permission.
The proposed pumped storage project would consist of the following:
(1) An upper reservoir with a maximum water surface elevation of 1,364
feet mean sea level (msl); (2) four dam sections and one spillway
section at a crest elevation of 895 feet, each; (3) an upper reservoir
intake structure; (4) an underground powerhouse containing reversible
pump-turbine unit(s) for a maximum installed capacity of 1,600
megawatts; (5) a lower reservoir discharge structure; (6) a lower
reservoir with a maximum water surface elevation of 889 feet msl; (7) a
transmission line(s) and switchyard(s) connecting the project to the
grid; and (8) appurtenant facilities.
